In the drawing 1 representsa tipping de livery table constructed andoperated in a' sin ilar manner; to the delivery table, clescribecl' 111my 1 co-penchng application" for LettersPatent, Serial N0.485,008, andin aclztptlng same to buck forming apparatus Wh ch delivers bucks on thefiat, a hinged or p'ivotecltrey o'r shelf 2, is mounted insuiteblesupports at a point between the exit of-brieks v V receiving or deliverytable 1.

The object lnprovicling said tray 2 is to from the brick foiiuinapparatusfiand the provide for the tiltingfortipping of the bri'eks"flromthefiltt on to their endseither befoi'e tie directly on tothelzrtt'er. V

The means for eifecting theupenclingfof the bricks" comprise the beforementionedhinged or pivoted tray 2 'mou'ntetl' on horizontal yreach thetable'l or to or tip' them spindle 8, and an arm 4 "which iseoin'iectecl c by a link 5 with the uppeflend of a rocking armGzictu'a'ted through/it push rocl'i from a pinion 8nieshing with atsuitably driveni 'gezt'r Wheel 9.

This gearing is "arranged." to cause the tray on the flttt tnd closely'following the tipping i purpose of pushingthe upende'dbricks clearofthe' tru or shelf 2. i Toenab'l'e the pusher 10 to act thetrzty 2 isfoi 'n ieclwith a gap" ol opening fl therein, to*per1nit the brick beingpushed off the tray; As a further briel; or bricks" are upended ztnclpushecl'elear ofth 2, the previously upended brick orb'rioks' is or aregreclullly Workedhcross a fixediplatfori n level: with thetsbie 1.

When new of upencleclbri'cks is completed across 'tl iepletform 11 thefirst brick comes in ontact With the upper end ai trip lever 12'projectin upwards through slot 11" in tlieplett0riii'11; Movenilent ofthe upper end of thistrip lever 12 by the row of brie-ks, causes partialmoveinent to be," givenqto the 106.13, which in turn'jtrensinitsmovement through a vertical-lever 1% and a; horizontal ashaft "18adapted. to

. on to the table 1 and then return to its starting position and becomeinoperative until another row of bricks requires pushing forward.

In order that the pusher 20 when in operation will avoid an advancingrow of bricks takes the tilting tray 2 to rock back andreceive anotherbrie-3k. For example, bricks are made at the rate of 1200 per hour (theusual speed rate of these machines) 20 per minute and one brick everysecond of time and the shaft 19 must rotate at the rate of 3,000 perhour, 50 per minute or a forward clearance movement of pusher 20 andreturn something more than once in every second of time thereby avoidingall danger of collision of the pusher 20 and the advancing row ofbricks.

As soon as the row of upended bricks on the platform 11 is clear of-theupper end of the trip lever 12, the latter is returned to its normalposition, and the sliding bar 16 to its position in readiness forre-engaging the leg of the pawl of the Cl11tCll-l7,-i0 as to cause theshaft 18 to be again rendered inoperative at the completion of a fullrevolution, by the action of springs 23. r

In order that the bricks on thetable 1 may be arranged in stackedformation after the table has been tilted, a bearing board or stop isprovided at the bottom edge ofthe table or that edge of the tablefarthest from the cutting table. Two vertical arms 24 one at each sideof the said edge of the table 1 are conneeted by a cross bar 25 whichsupports the offbearing board 26 on edge ready to receive the load ofbricks from the table The offbearing board or stop 26 is slightlygreater in length than a cutting of the bricks to allow for the openingout of the latter and is equalledto a brick lengthinwidth or height, Twocross-battens 27 are nailed on the back of the board 26 which whenpressed on the delivery table is positioned with these battens facingand between the vertical arms 24.

When the table 1 is fully loaded with bricks on end the full load istipped or tilted so that all of the bricks on the table will now rest invertical stacked formation on the bearing board 26, the bricks beingarranged either in parallel rows at right angles to the line of deliveryof bricks on to the platform 11 or with the joints between the bricks ofthe rows crossed, thelatter arrangement being brought about by thebackward and forward movements of the table 1 and the The rows are allcommenced and finished together and immediately they are completed theplunger before described is brought into use and pushes them up the;

table.

What I do claim and desire to obtain by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates of Amer- 10a is 1. Apparatus for dealing with bricks including incombination a hinged tray receiving bricks'on the flat; a tiltablesurface; means for tipping said tray and means for delivering the brickson end and in rows on to said surface; a stop on said tiltable surfaceopposite the means delivering bricks in rows thereonto; and means fortilting said surface to bring the rows of bricks thereon into stackedformation on said stop, substantially as described.

2. Apparatus for dealing with bricks including in combination a hingedtray recei ving bricks on the fiat; means for tipping said tray, a fixedplatform receiving the bricks on end from said tray; a pusher for movingthe bricks on end along said platform, a tiltablc table; a plungeroperating to push the bricks on end and in rows. off said platform on tosaid table; a stop on the latter opposite the plunger pushing bricksthereonto; and means for tilting said table to bring the rows of bricksthereon into stacked formation on said stop, substantially as described.

3. Apparatus for dealing with bricks in cluding in combination a fixedplatform, a hinged tray receiving bricks on the flat; and deliveringsame on end to form a row of up ended bricks on said platform; a pusherfor moving the upended bricks along the latter; a tiltable table; aplunger operating across the fixed platform to force rows of bricks ontothe table; means whereby said plunger is brought into operation at thecompletion of a row on the platform; arms on the table opposite theplunger; a board supported by said arms and means for tilting the tableto bring the rows of bricks thereon into stacked formation on saidboard, substantially as described.

4. Apparatus for dealing with bricks in cluding in combination a fixedplatform; a hinged tray mounted between the point of delivery of bricksissuing'on the flat from brick forming apparatus, and said fixedplatform; a table tiltable at right angles to the line of delivery ofsaid bricks on to said platform; a pusher operating through said tray toform a I0\V0f bricks on end along said platform; a plunger for forcingsaid row of bricks on end off said platform on to said table in a lineat right angles to the line of delivery of bricks on to said platform;arms on the table opposite the plunger a board supported by said arms;and means for tilting said table to bring the bricks in rows thereoninto stacked formation on said board, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
